Minor/Repaint: Animated Powerglide WIP

Just started this one, though I've had the idea for ages. Eon Kid Ace into Animated Powerglide(yes, I know there already is one, but he's a tank with skis if I remember right. Shouldn't he be PowerDRIVE?). As my own story for him goes, he's the son of the official Powerglide(who'd have the suggested name instead), but he's an upgrade junkie. Loyal to a fault, but initially weak, he starts off by 'volunteering' as the next test subject for the Flying Bots program that the Jet Twins made it through. After the initial success, he was hooked on upgrading himself, and by this point he has enough of an arsenal to give most ranking Primes a run for the shelter on a bad day. He is, again, very loyal, but hot tempered at times and if someone(like, say, Swindle) were to dangle a snazzy new upgrade in front of him...who knows?

So far, I've only drilled a 3mm hole in a back panel of Eon Kid's Ace and shaved some detail bits off the GI Joe C.L.A.W., but I plan to give the Claw a bit more work, rounding it out, giving it the 'fang' things that are jutting off of 'Glide's wings, and smoothing the sculpt so that it's more cartoonish. I'd also love to hear any suggestions for more upgrades, and any suggestions on how to make the elbows a little better

I always loved that fig, didn't know what I could do with it, but your idea is awesome!
I like it as powerglide, but it might work better as a vehicon, or decepticon, i say that because you have a perfect shape to make it an evil bot of some type... Or even TF: Prime character?
Either way, you have got my attention and inspired me something awful

Glad to hear it! I'm thinking of maybe altering his missiles to be wire-guided grappling missiles(That way he can either grab you, or grab you and blow you up. Yes, there will be mix-ups 8D) currently. As to the evil-bot stuff: Maybe for a future project, but this one at least is going to stay as Animated Powerglide ;D

That a fun mold to work with. Good luck with he head, boy when you get ready to work on the head be ready to be frustrated. ENJOY THOUGH

Not going to do more than maybe paint some eyes. I like the head. Tremo, on the other hand...he's going to need a lot of work...currently thinking of maybe turning him into an animate Twin Twist or a new character entirely.

That is awesome, painted up right though it could really work as a TF rime omega supreme. Obviously depending on the size of the figure as i dont think ive ever seen this figure before. It looks great though

He's a bit small for that XD; He's between a deluxe and a voyager, closer to deluxe.
